p.11 #1 · Review: Laowa 100mm F/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO


So for those who have owned this lens for a while now, has the grease cause any issues over time? Worries in warm weather? Interested in this lens.

Just got mine and haven't really given it a workout. It's also not left the air conditioning since it was unboxed.

Basic off-the-cuff observations:


  1. The lack of LoCA is somewhat mind-boggling having used the 100L in the past
  2. 2:1 is close, but still not that close if you're trying to get details; I'll see how it does with tubes when I have time to set up lighting
  3. The focus throw, as reviewers have noted, is probably too tight, focusing rails recommended if you're getting really close but works for normal distances
  4. The aperture control and AF confirmation worked on my 6D, still need to check it on my wife's 77D and my EOS M5, but I don't anticipate problems
